Fall Practice

[GatorRaz]

Did I miss AC? No 81 in the team pic?

 

[MJMGator]

They can't even line up correctly. Look how off-center they are.

I couldn't find him either.

 

[Swamp Queen]

If he's suspended from all team activities, he will not be part of team pictures taken during his suspension from team activities.

It's also pretty to have a big gray tarp covering something along the bottom of the photo. Seriously, who staged this thing?

Amateurs.

Amateurs.

no doubt. this is like the mac equivalent of muschamp having the team ride in the back of a debris loader.

I was trying really hard to forget about that. Thanks for reminding me.

Is anybody else concerned that these 7 suspensions will bite us at some point this season? It seems like everybody is glossing over this and saying oh well you only lost one starter. However, to me its deeper than that. When is the last time Florida could go into a game full strength without suspensions, injuries, or being under the total allotment of true scholarship athletes i.e. not walkons. I find it very concerning.

Although we might be able to get past the Michigan game with these suspensions mainly due to the fact that everybody else should be healthy and ready to go, its a whole different story to go an entire season without 10 percent of your roster especially when injuries start to accrue. If these suspensions start lingering into the year and aren't resolved I do think its possible it comes back to bite us unfortunately. It's good to have reliable starters which we seemingly have, but guys like Smith and Davis were dudes who provided depth/ rotation minutes which is hugely important especially when they can give offenses different personnel matchups/looks i.e. both are taller while a guy like Jefferson is shorter but excels in his own way. Same goes for guys like Telfort at OT or Miller at Lb who seemed to be progressing well and providing depth. Its almost a psychological thing to me in that we already are at a competitive disadvantage now due to the suspensions creating a disparity in roster numbers between us and our opponents. I would like to be able to go into a game where we and our opponents start off at the same playing field instead of starting off with a chink in our armor.

I looked at the Meyer championship rosters not too long ago and was not surprised to find that Meyer had great depth seemingly everywhere particularly the DLINE. In those years, we seemingly never went into a game where we were overmatched personnel or numbers wise. Im hoping Im just being overly analytical here and the suspensions get resolved in due time making this a non issue.
Just my two cents.

 

[Omar's Coming Yo!]

Well at least Mac is out there saying we are going to beat the heck out of Michigan.

Shocker: coach expects to win more at 11.

 

[Omar's Coming Yo!]

Looks like Michigan isn't to confident with the secondary



Hopefully we'll play a QB who can take advantage of them and not one who loves to throw 7 yrd passes ;)

They won't have to worry if their DL and LBs are as good as They claim. I have no Faith in nusschamp.

I think people assume everyone except maybe Smith and Callaway will at least be back by the 3rd game.

Why Houston? I thought Smith was the one up Shlt's Creek.

Yes, these suspensions will only impact game 1. We need the depth, and Telfort for OL depth. He's one of our top 7 or 8 OL's.

Got confused there.

I thought maybe I missed something on Houston. Some of these guys may even be back by game 2. I hope Telfort gets back for some reps vs a cupcake as Tennessee is up next....

I thought you said we were going to run them out of the building? Which is it?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

They can't even line up correctly. Look how off-center they are.

they were strong left on that formation trying to make sure Martez Ivey had a little help.

If we were at full strength I'd be more confident. Im starting to think these suspensions have a bigger impact than we think which is why Im starting to feel a little more hesitant now. With that said, I still think we can and probably should win this game but maybe not by double score.

Based on one starter out?
